Mego 8 Inch Super Heroes World’s Greatest Toys

Posted by dailypop on November 20, 2007

Author Benjamin Holcomb

PRAISE FOR WORLD’S GREATEST TOYS!

“…a stunning visual experience that will leave you weeping like a nine-year old who just misplaced Robin’s removable mask.”
Chip Kidd, author of Batman Collected

“I’ve waited thirty years for this magical, beautiful book. And now, Benjamin Holcomb has given it to us.”
Brad Meltzer, author of NY Times Best-Selling The Book of Fate and DC’s Justice League of America

“This book, so full of fond memories both personal and professional, could be improved only if it included footy pajamas and a Christmas tree.”
Ken Abrams, son of Marty Abrams and
grandson of Mego founder D. David Abrams

Available this week at your local comic shop, or look online!

For any of you who remember the joy of the Mego 8 Inch line of action dolls, this is a treasure trove of information and nostalgia. I’ve been following the development of this book on the official site for the past year or so and it’s just so heartening to see someone who has this much love for something get his work out there… and in quite an attractive book I might add!

Publisher TwoMorrows is also offering a special limited edition version only available for purchase on their website. The limited edition version is signed by the author, contains a postcard featuring the alternate cover and customers will also receive a full color 1978-1982 reproduction Mego catalog!

Oh, and TwoMorrows is having a 50% off sale until November 30th.
